Everyone came back to their senses and looked down hastily, but they saw a vast expanse, where was the shadow of someone
"Master Jijiu, this..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
"What are you still doing?" Li Yuebai reprimanded: "Go down and look for it quickly, but you must pay attention to protecting yourself."
"Yes!" Everyone got the order, they pinched the formula and flew down.
Li Yuebai still hovered in place, and did not search with everyone.
Before waiting for a while, Wan Guangliu had already returned. Seeing the empty space with only Lord Jijiu left, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and said, "What happened? Where's Ji Yao?"
"...Host, are you too unlucky?" The system was very confused by the sudden turn of events: "That's it, Wan Guangliu must really want to tear you apart."
After leaving for a short while, Ji Yao disappeared strangely. Even if Wan Guangliu did not suspect that Master Jijiu intentionally hurt Ji Yao, he would think that Master Jijiu did not take good care of him and did not fulfill his responsibility.
"Madam Ling..." Li Yuebai collected himself and explained what happened just now in the shortest words.
Wan Guangliu didn't bother to make trouble for him at this time, and rushed down in a hurry.
Li Yuebai followed quietly.
Everyone searched around the ground, but they couldn't find Ji Yao at all.
"What's going on, what's going on, what's going on..." the system began to fuss and murmur.
"Calm down."
"How can you be calm, host?" The system said sadly, "Don't you think something serious happened? There must be something wrong with Ji Yao!"
"Do you think she disappeared on purpose?" Li Yuebai asked.
"It must be." The system said: "She tried to distract Peak Master Wan first, and then disappeared on purpose, so that she could frame you and make Peak Master Wan suspicious and angry with you."
"You don't have to be so sure. There is a lot of smoke here, and demon spirits are everywhere. Maybe she was attacked by monsters, but I don't know." Li Yuebai said.
"... It doesn't count if you said that." The system complained: "What if Master Wan comes to trouble you later?"
Sure enough, Wan Guangliu couldn't find Ji Yao, and began to question other monks harshly. Naturally, those monks didn't know anything. Ji Yao was at the end of the team, and no one was watching. Know how she disappeared.
Wan Guangliu couldn't figure out why, and became more angry, and began to cast his eyes on Li Yuebai.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to deal with him." Li Yuebai sighed: "System, help me find where Ji Yao is."
"Host, do you think it's so easy to find her?" The system complained, "Although I am omniscient..."
"But the search takes time, right?" Li Yuebai said: "Then go according to your idea, she may be hiding on purpose and running away on purpose, so I went to find her in the direction where it is easiest to escape..."
"Yes." The system quietly started the search.
"Master Jijiu." Wan Guangliu had already walked over here with a gloomy face: "What's going on?"
"..." Li Yuebai knew that anything he said at this time could arouse the other party's anger, so he simply didn't answer.
"Master Jijiu, what does this mean?"
"Lord Wan Feng, don't worry." Li Yuebai said calmly: "I will find it."
"Huh?" Wan Guangliu frowned, feeling very suspicious of Master Jijiu's nonchalant way of finding someone.
The system stepped up its calculations and quickly found the correct location.
"Yes." Li Yuebai suddenly opened his eyes wide: "To the southeast, one mile away, let's go!"
When everyone heard his order, they all cheered up, and hurriedly raised their swords and followed.
Sure enough, after chasing for a short time, I saw a hurried figure in the depths of the fog, it was Ji Yao.
In order to facilitate her escape, she put on a black cloak, covering her bright red dress, and was almost unrecognizable hidden in the dense fog.
"Madam, please stay!" A monk hurriedly shouted: "I'm here to look for Madam!"
Hearing the shout, Ji Yao visibly trembled.
However, she didn't look back, but fled forward at a faster speed.
Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing such a scene, Wan Guangliu would not blame himself anyway.
Obviously, it is Ji Yao who wants to escape now.
"Yao'er, what's the matter? Come back soon!" Wan Guangliu also frowned and shouted.
Seeing that it was difficult to escape, Ji Yao simply turned her face and faced everyone proudly.
She held a sharp knife in her hand, shining silver in the dark smoke, and at this moment, the point of the knife was facing her throat.
"Don't come here, you all don't come here!" Ji Yao shouted angrily, her voice was much sharper than usual.
"Yao'er, don't make trouble, just talk about it, what do you want?" Wan Guangliu hurriedly shouted, feeling astonished and worried.
"What does this concubine want?" Ji Yao sneered, "I just want to leave this filthy place far away and never come back again!"
"So, you really escaped on purpose." Wan Guangliu sighed.
"That's right, I want to run away. As for why I want to run away, I have to ask the Lord Jijiu next to my husband!" Ji Yao no longer wanted to maintain her usual ladylike demeanor, and her expression became a little crazy.
"..."
"Master Jijiu supported the false Immortal Lord, and even threw my family members into prison." Ji Yao said sadly, "Why can't I hate him? Since I can't kill him, I can only run away!"
"But... Madame can't escape now." A monk said angrily.
"Mu Qingning, you are indeed insidious and cunning, and you have tried your best." Ji Yao gritted her teeth, her face full of hatred: "My concubine's actions just now are clearly impeccable, there is no way you can chase here! How did you... What kind of evil techniques did you use to find the concubine?"
Li Yuebai was speechless. Indeed, in such a dark fog, it is more difficult to find someone who deliberately escaped. If he hadn't used the system's search function, he would never have been able to find Ji Yao. .
"However, it's meaningless, everything in the world flows eastward like a river." Ji Yao showed a crazy smile: "Now that things have happened, I will either die or fight to the death with you!"
When all the cultivators heard her outrageous words, they became nervous and blocked the long swords they carried with them, ready to fight.
Wan Guangliu did not make a move for a long time, his face was gloomy and he remained motionless.
Ji Yao held a knife against her throat, and pointed at everyone with a sword in the other.
Her meaning is very clear - she would rather die here than be taken back to Kunlun.
"Although it is inhumane to say this, I am the system, not you human beings." The system whispered: "Host, the system has a suggestion for you - if Ji Yao is allowed to die here, a lot of troubles will be saved later. It's done."
It was useless for Li Yuebai, the wet and gloomy black mist curled up his sleeves and corners, fluttering and flying.
"Master Jijiu." Wan Guangliu turned around suddenly, facing Li Yuebai: "I have never begged anyone in my life, but today, I have to ask you for something."
"Oh?" Li Yuebai smiled wryly, he had already guessed what Wan Guangliu was asking for.
"Yao'er, she...although I don't have much affection for this servant, but I love her." Wan Guangliu gritted his teeth: "But I really can't let go."
Although the several monks present were extremely nervous and ready to face the battle at any time, they couldn't help being surprised when they heard Wan Guangliu's words, and thought to themselves: "It turns out that Peak Master Wan also has today, and the rumors are indeed true..."
Wan Guangliu was used to being domineering and domineering in his daily life, but his show of true feelings this time really made everyone feel mixed.
"Yao'er's father and brother are all under the law, she... is lonely and has no one to take care of her." Wan Guangliu paused every single word, speaking very difficultly: "Although she is disrespectful to you, she did not do anything to harm Kunlun after all, so... look at it In order to save face, I also ask Lord Jijiu... let her go."
"Let her go? Didn't she be brought back?" Li Yuebai wondered, "If I let her go, wouldn't Peak Master Wan and her never see each other again?"
"Since she doesn't want to stay in Kunlun, seeing each other will only increase the pain." Wan Guangliu said slowly.
His complexion was very bad, but what he said was sincere and touching.
"Don't listen to him." The system said: "It's just a self-confessed unrequited love."
"System, you also understand feelings?" Li Yuebai smiled.
"I can't feel it, but it can be digitally simulated." The system replied: "In short, emotion is something that makes you humans fragile and stupid, and it is useless at all."
"Yeah, it's useless at all." Li Yuebai shook his head with a wry smile.
Wan Guangliu saw that he didn't reply for a long time, so he lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down on one knee, and saluted.
The world of cultivating immortals is not as complicated as in the ancient world. Even if you meet a fairy master, you don’t necessarily need to give a big gift, let alone Wan Guangliu’s superb swordsmanship, his usually domineering personality, and his eyes above the top...
Everyone can see the weight of this kneeling.
"It's appeared, moral kidnapping!" The system complained: "I've seen this word in your human database, this is the first time I saw the scene..."
"Wan Fengzhu, why is this?" Li Yuebai panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "I really can't bear this gift..."
Wan Guangliu didn't speak any more, but just looked at Li Yuebai stubbornly.
Li Yuebai avoided his gaze and looked at Ji Yao in the distance.
After a long time, he sighed and said: "I have a promise first."
"Promise? What promise?" The monks were puzzled.
"I once promised an old man that I would protect Ji Yao's freedom and well-being." Li Yuebai said slowly: "Now, even though Ji Yao hates me to the bone, she is afraid to avoid Kunlun, and is facing you with swords... But the promise , must always be followed.”
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is necessary to respect the gentleman's demeanor and commitment, and anyone who violates this point will be cast aside.
"Let her go." Li Yuebai nodded.
"But… "
"Let her go!" Li Yuebai said firmly.
"..." Ji Yao trembled, and the tip of the knife in her hand pierced a little blood on her neck, which was frighteningly red. She bit her lips tightly and opened her eyes wide. She never thought that Lord Jijiu would let her go so easily ,
Everyone put down the long sword in their hands with their own thoughts.
Ji Yao didn't have time to think about it, she turned around abruptly and disappeared into the mist.
